Since 2003, Chad has appeared on most of ESPN's poker broadcasts, including the World Series of Poker and The United States Poker Championship, among other events.[citation needed] For 12 years, Chad made NFL predictions against the spread in his syndicated column; Chad picked the winners merely by flipping a coin, and most years ended up with a winning record.[4][time needed]
Chad married his college girlfriend in 1984; the marriage ended in divorce. He was married to his second wife for less than a year.[3] In 2007, Chad married his third wife, Toni.[5]
